I think it's the fact that they were being lazy, and the only reason Mariko the 8th got the uniform she did, was because the CGI team didn't want to have to create another another model for Mariko; they merely took the model of Yuko's uniform and slapped Mariko's head onto it and added white socks. If you look closely, you'll notice that the uniform she uses isn't consequent during the series, ie Normal animation has black tie, whilst CGI has red tie. And you even see in the Ue Kara Mariko performance, that the decoration on her tie changes between different shots in the normal animation (When Mariko first reveals herself and turns around, it's one golden clip and a red ruffle, whilst in the final pose, it's two golden clips and no ruffles, and in other shots of the same performance, she has no golden clip and only black ruffles.)
